4/23/25, 4:51 PM ICEQ International Conference kicks off today
“We are not merely hosting a conference; we are embracing a renewed global vision that aligns with our
ambitions to build institutions that are both smart and human-centric. Artificial intelligence is no longer a
theoretical luxury—it is a practical necessity. And today, we place it in the service of education, in the
service of humanity, and in the service of a nation that deserves the best.”

Dr. Caroline A. Jones, Professor Emerita at the University of Warwick – UK, and representative of the
ICEQ Supreme Committee, added:

“What Dubai is witnessing today goes beyond an academic event. It is a practical model for integrating
emerging technologies into the future of education and public services. The conference is a platform for

aligning innovation with policy, and knowledge with application.”

The conference concludes with a special session featuring H.E. Lt. General Al Marri, the launch of the AI
Innovation Lab, and the signing of three strategic cooperation agreements, creating an integrated
knowledge experience that reflects the Directorate’s commitment to institutional leadership, sustainable
education, and innovation-driven empowerment.

This conference represents a strategic step toward reinforcing Dubai’s global image as a hub for

innovation and advanced technologies, aligned with the vision of the General Directorate of Identity and
Foreigners Affairs – Dubai in solidifying its reputation as a pioneering institution in leveraging AI to serve
people and communities—and as a living model of smart governance that aims to enhance quality of life

and build a more flexible, sustainable institutional future.
